Wild guinea pigs, also known as cavies, are small rodents native to South America, particularly the Andes region. They are the ancestors of the domestic guinea pigs kept as pets. Unlike their domestic counterparts, wild guinea pigs tend to be more skittish and are excellent at evading predators. They are herbivores, feeding on a diet of grasses, leaves, and other vegetation. Wild guinea pigs are social animals and often live in groups, offering safety in numbers. Their burrowing behavior helps them create underground tunnels and chambers for shelter and protection from predators. While they share some similarities with domestic guinea pigs, they have distinct behaviors and characteristics suited to their life in the wild.
